Politics: Trump will reportedly unveil a plan to combat the opioid crisis that includes the death penalty for drug dealers

President Donald Trump will roll out a plan to combat the opioid crisis that includes the death penalty for some drug dealers according to a new report.

The White House is putting the finishing touches on a long-promised plan to combat the opioid crisis.

One of the measures would be to give drug dealers who sold opioids the death penalty.

President Donald Trump floated the death penalty idea in two previous meetings.

President Donald Trump is nearing a roll-out of a plan to combat the opioid crisis that includes a provision to make some drug dealing cases subject to the death penalty, according to a new report.

Politico reported Thursday that the opiod plan could be released as soon as Monday when Trump visits New Hampshire.

The long-promised plan will include an array of measures to combat the growing opioid problem in America, including treatment-targeted measures like increased funds for Medicaid recipients struggling with addiction to receive inpatient care and testing for opioids in prisons to direct people towards treatment centers.

In addition to treatment funding, the plan includes increased punishments such as a Justice Department task force to crack down on the sale of illicit opioids on the internet and the aforementioned death penalty change.
